Happy Holidays!
This week was our annual Holiday Party!
We had a pretty healthy dinner thanks to our party chairpersons
Marcia challenged us all to be VERY good this week and see if we can come back next Thursday with a 'no gain' week for the Chapter. Are we UP to the challenge to make the scales go DOWN?

Weight loss is a great way to start the holiday season. And that's just what the chapter did!
Our "Best Loser" was Kim. She told us to team up with a TOPS pal to help you lose and don't make your goals too big to attain.
Thursday, December 4th will be our annual Christmas/Holiday Party. A light meal will be provided so just bring yourself!
Joanna gave us some hard to swallow numbers (gulp!) about our upcoming Thanksgiving meal. Follow the link to a Thanksgiving Meal Calculator.
Linda was kind enough to act as Santa's helper(?) as she passed out Secret Santa gifts!

Well, well. Fall has almost passed so it's time to start making the scale fall as well!
Our Best Loser was Bonnie. (Anyone notice a recent trend here?) She advised us to stay with your healthy diet, drink your water and don't be cheating on that diet either.
The October Best Loser was Bonnie! (17.25 lbs.) Way to go!!! (See what I mean about a trend?) Also, the chapter had a big loss in October as well.
Travel gifts have been given to Judy and Bonnie.
Our Christmas Party will be held on December, 4th. Cindy, Barb and Theresa R. will be the organizational committee.
Let's get things moving in the right direction. We can still beat October's big loss!
